Next. By Command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary. General Post Office, Dec. 6, 1836. On Saturday evening many of the prize oxen and other animals had been purchased, principally by butchers. Earl Spercer's great Durham ox eas the principal attraction to the lovers of prime beef. It eas neither the largest nor the fattest ox in the repository ; but the pastoral fame of the noble breeder and feeder, and its own singular appearance, being almost as white as snow, made it the observed of all observers. Its weight was estimated at 160 stone. Mr. Strachan, of Dean-street, Westminster, was the purchaser, at, as was said, 55 guineas, but the actual sum in such cases is generally kept a profound secret between the butcher and the breeder. The Marquis of Tavistock's Hereford ox was a greater beast than his neighbour from Durham, and brought its noble owner a prize of 20 sovereigns, while a silver medal only has been awarded to Earl Spencer ; 2001. and 501. for the show had been refused for four oxen of BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY. THE DIRECTORS of this COMPANY hereby inform the PROPRIETORS of SHARES in the same, that, for the purpose of facilitating the transactions of Shareholders, residing either in London or at a distance from Bristol, an Office, under the superintendence of the London Secretary to the Great Western Railway Company, has been opened at No. 17, Cornhill, where information relating to the business of the Bristol and Exeter Railway may be obtained, and through which Transfers, and all other documents connected therewith, may be received and trans mitted.

IN THE SOUTH OF DEVON. VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATES, ALTOGETHER UPWARDS OF ELEVEN HUNDRED ACRES, WITH MANSION AND OFFICES, THE MOIETY OF THE RECTORY OF THE PARISHES OF ERNIINGTON CUM-KINGSTON, AND OTHER VALUABLE CHURCH PREFERMENT. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the New London Inn, Exeter, on SATURDAY, the Ilth of March, 1837, in Lots, by direction of the Proprietor, AValuable FREEHOLD ESTATE, peculiarly well adapted for permanent Investment. This fine property is greatly indebted to nature for many of its prominent features. The position alluded to is situate on the Bank of THE FAR-FAMED RIVER DART, nd partakes in an eminent degree of the never-ending variety and interest of this favoured spot. It has been well and truly said THIS IS THE GARDEN OF DEVON. The Property is situate five miles from TOTNESS, and seven from DARTMOUTH. It embraces, first, A CAPITAL MANSION AND OFFICES, approached from the turnpike-road by a beautiful Drive through a part of the Estate. In the immediate vicinity of the Mansion there is an Ancient Grotto, constructed in the finest taste. At an agree able distance, in a sequestered Dell, refreshed by ornamental waters, well stocked with Fish, arises a MAJESTIC GROVE OF FOREST TREES, pith the Ruins of a Hermitage. The landscape at this spot is one of perpetual verdure and unrivalled beauty each month in th• year, spontaneously producing in the greatest profusion an endless variety of perennial flowers. This part of the Property is sur rounded by a demesne of 535 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND, PRINCIPALLY DIVIDED INTO THREE COMPACT AND WELL-TENANTED FARMS, AND PRODUCING AN INCOME_ OF UPWARDS OF 5001. A-YEAR. —Also an EXCEEDINGLY VALUABLE REVERSIONARY PROPERTY, near to the above, situated in THE VILLAGE AND PARISH OF BLACKAWTON, with a genteel residence and offices ; 123 acres of land, and divers houses and cottages, let on leases for lives. On their termination this portion alone may be estimated at 3501. a-year.—Also the CORNWORTHY ESTATE, being an undivided fourth part of NINE COMPACT FARMS, _ _ extending over about 600 aeres of land. Two of these farms, con taining about two-fifths of the estate, are let to most respectable tenants, on leases of which a few years only are unexpired ; the remaining farms, comprising three-fifths of the estate, are let upon leases for lives ; at their termination the income from this alone will be nearly ONE THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR. This property is five miles only from Totness, and seven from Dartmouth, and on the bank of the famed river Dart. The estate altogether exceeds ELEVEN HUNDRED ACRES. It is to be borne in mind, that rents are here paid with a punc tuality of rare occurrence. It is therefore strongly recommended to capitalists, and especially trustees, who would here purchase freehold land in perfect security, and with prospective advantages of considerable value. Connected with THIS FINE INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL IS THE PERPETUAL RIGHT OF PRESENTATION TO THE MEDIETY OF THE RECTORY OF THE PARISHES OF ERMINGTON CUM KINGSTON, producing an income of 5201. a year arising from tithe and valuable glebe, to be held only by a clergyman regularly instituted, but exempt from residence and clerical duty. And lastly, -THE ALTERNATE RIGHT WITH THE CROWN OF PRESENTATION _ . . to the Vicarages of the above Parishes of Ermington cum King ston, producing an income of upwards of 3501. a year from tithe and rent of glebe, exclusive of AN EXCELLENT VICARAGE HOUSE, Offices, and extensive Garden, of considerable annual value. The present Incumbent was presented by the Crown, consequently the next presentation belongs to the purchaser. Particulars may be had at the New London Inn, Exeter ; the Castle, Dartmouth ; the - Seven Stars, Totness ; of Wm. Dimes, Esq., Solicitor, Austin Friars; the Auctio n Mart ; a nd at Mr. Geo. Robins's offices, Covent-garden. CAUTION. —The numerous attempts made to N... 1 impose spurious articles of Brandy on the Public, as BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, will be, in a great measure, de feated by observing the following points : First—That the Patentees are Distillers. Secondly—That their only Establishment is the Distillery, N o . 7 , Smithfield Bars, leading to St. John-street. Thirdly—That Brandy is the only article which they manufacture. Fourthly—That, as Distillers, they cannot send out smaller qualities than Two Gallons. Fifthly—That the Patent Brandy, is the only spirit which, upon analization by eminent Chemists, has been declared even more pure than the finest samples of French Brandy; and Lastly—That it is the only Spirit recommended by the Faculty, in preference to the Foreign, for Medical purposes. J. T. BETTS and Co., therefore, need only assure the public that their Brandy remains of the same high standard in quality which has secured for it that demand which, at the present time, exists to an unprecedented extent. The Patent Brandy, which is of the highest legal strength, may be had, either pale or c o l oure d, a t Ei g ht een - Shillings per Imperial Gallon, for Cash on delivery. French Brandy Distillery, 7, Smithfield Bars, November, 1836. lIAPPINESS, " th e gay to - morrow o f t h e m i n d," is insured by marriage. Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty hot only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence In the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the Premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope —energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of Married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often con atitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy im proved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as Well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our abi lity to cure speedily, and with effect. Confidentin our own honourable inte. grity as members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering corn triunity of either sex especially those entering into matrimonial life) at nee to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consulta tion ; and letters from the count r y are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the ease, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant. No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine will be securely packed, and care ally protected from observation. GOSS and CO. (M. R. C. Surgeons), 7, Lancaster place, Strand, London. - - • ..

We regret to state that Loughton-hall, the seat of Mr. William Whittaker Maitland, the High Sheriff for the county of Essex, was yesterday morning, with the excep tion of a portion of the eastern wing, totally destroyed by fire, and property to the amount of between 20,0001. and 30,0001. consumed. From what we have been able to col lect, it appears that about five o'clock yesterday morning, one of the female domestics observed a dense body of smoke in the west wing of the building, and knowing there was no fire in any part of the mansion, she became alarmed, and immediately communicated her suspicions to the family. Some of the servants proceeded to the library, and on opening the door discovered it to be in flames. In a few seconds the whole of the wing was one body of fire. Some of the household went for the Loughton engine, which was speedily on the spot, as also were the neigh bours, who rendered every assistance in their power ; and, although there was a plentiful supply of water obtained from ponds in the vicinity, it was ineffectual. Two of the servants came up to London on horseback, and reached the head station of the London Fire Establishment, Watling street, at eight o'clock, when Henderson and six men with an engine, to which were attached four post-horses, and Crookland and six men with the engine from Jeffrey's square, also with four horses, left their respective stations, and reached Loughton about ten o'clock, but too late to save any portion of the west wing. Finding it useless to attempt to stop the progress of the flames in the above quarter, they directed their attention to the eastern part of the building, and, although they used every exertion, we are sorry to say that they succeeded in saving but a small portion. The extent of the building may be imagined when we state that 50 rooms were destroyed and damaged. Amongst the property burnt were up wards of 10,000 volumes of va luable books, comprising a quantity of scarce works, many of them unique, and with a few exceptions the whole of the valuable furniture was also destroyed. In the cellars are between 7,000 and 8,000 dozens of wine, which are sup posed to be destroyed. During the whole of yesterday the various engines were kept in play without intermission, and a great number of persons from the neighbourhood were engaged to work them. We are happy to state that the whole of the property is insured in the Imperial Fire-office, of which Mr. Maitland is a director, as also one of the di rectors of the West India Docks. The fire, which was purely accidental, appears to have commenced in the flue of th• library chimney, which is supposed to contain some wood-work, and to have been burning for some days past. No lives were lost. Great praise is due to the couitrymen who assisted at the engines for the extraordinary exertions which they made in saving what little of the property escaped the devouring element. Last night a reinforcement of the men belonging to the London Fire Establishment was sent off to assist those who went down with the engines, as the fire was still burning and further damage appre hended. The property saved was carried on to the lawn, and was placed under the care of some of the principal in habitants. The family and servants were accommodated at the houses of persons residing in the vicinity of the place. THE MARKETS. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING LAST 4i'2Ch„ Wheat. I Barley. i Oats. Beans. Pease.

Earl Bruce's Stag Hounds met at Beeches-barn, near Eveleigh, on Saturday week, when a fine hind was uncarted, which afforded a splendid day's sport to a field of about 70 ; amongst whom were (besides the owner) the Marchioness of Ailesbury, Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce, Count and Countess of Danneskiold, Lord W. Paulett, Sirs J. Pollen, E. Antro bus, and F. H. Bathurst; the Hons. F. Craven, H. Pierre point, Wm. Tollemache, &c. The gallant animal first started in the direction of Ablington village, which she left to the right, then leaving Mr. Rendle's barn and firs to the left, made direct for Nine Mile Water, which she crossed, passing over Beacon-hill, by Parkhouse ; from thence up the hill, through a plantation ; then by Mr. Compton's, of Cholderton Latins, through Querley, and bending her course as if for Stockbridge Race Course, was run into at a barn near Wallop. The dis tance was considerably more than 20 miles, and was run in an hour and 35 minutes, without a single check. A faster or more brilliant run is seldem witnessed, and must have proved highly gratifying to the favoured few who were at the finish. On Monday Mr. Assheton Smith's Hounds met at Charlton Clumps, when, after having drawn a blank at Marden, a prize awaited them in the small patch of Gorse intersecting the cir cular belt of fir trees on Marden Down, for immediately upon the pack being thrown in, a fox was viewed away, making for the strong gorse cover of Conock Bushes, belonging to Mr. Warriner, and running up wind with the hounds in his wake, a melody ensued, which would beat .even Paganini to fiddle strings 1 Having attained the bushes, he still kept his head straight, cross e d the Salisbury turnpike-road,, and pointed, as if for Tilshead Plantations, but soon discovered that running down wind was playing a losing game, and being too good a calculator to throw a chance away, he soon headed short back, and regaining the bushes, shaped his course over Wilsford and Rushall Downs, through Water Den ; thence traversing all the steep hills with which those parts of the Downs are intersected, he touched at Compton, and at length re-invigorated his limbs by swimming the river at Chisenbury, where, crossing the water meadows, he again mounted the high lands, and was finally run into midway between Sidbury Hill and Tidworth House, after a run of 12 miles ; the scent, though not brilliant, was still a good hunting scent, the hounds on several occasions working up to their fox in a really beautiful style, spite of the many difficulties which intervened. The last two or three miles (when reynard's minutes were so nearly numbered) the pace was ne plus ultra ; as a proof of which, when the fox (so justly earned) was awarded to the hounds, many of them were incapable of transferring to their stomachs the savoury dainty, for their jaws declared for " no go." During the late storm, as Mr. Drake's hounds were return ing home through Shelsvvell Park, the horsemen were passing beneath a large Elm tree, when an arm was suddenly broken off by the wind. It struck down two of the horses, and one of them, a valuable horse, ridden by Mr. G. Foster, of the Cross Keys, Bicester, had its back broken, and was killed on the spot. Mr. Foster was also much hurt, but providentially not dangerously. The other horse was much injured, and is, not expected to live, but the rider, G. Heritage, also happily escaped without serious injury. Lady Byron, like her deceased Lord, is extremely partial to marine excursions ; her Ladyship has often put to sea in her yacht, in a fresh breeze, or rather moderate gale of wind, when other vessels were seeking shelter in the nearest harbour. Her Ladyship has been sojourning for some days past at Dover, residing in the mansion formerly occupied by Lady Canterbury and family. It is expected that thg Countess Brownlow will re sume her duties at the Court at Brighton, as one of the Ladies of her Majesty's Bedchamber, on the Ist of next month, in consequence of the absence of the Marchioness of Westmeath in Italy, and the vacancy by the death of the Countess Howe not being yet filled up in the Queen's household. The Frankfort Journal of the Ist inst. gives the following account of the n:arriage of Otho, King of Greece, with the Princess Amelia of Oldenburg, which was celebrated on the 22d ult., in the Palace of Oldenburg :—At six in the evening the foreign Ambassadors, Ministers, Consuls, and other foreigners of both sexes who had previously been re ceived at Court, the eight classes of Government officers and their wives, the Clergy, the officers of the garrison, and the magistrates of the city, began to arrive in succession. About seven the King, dressed in a magnificent Albanian uniform, arrived at the palace in a splendid carriage, drawn by six remarkably fine white horses, preceded by the officers of the Court of Oldenburg:, and followed by his own suite. He was introduced by the Grand Chamberlain into the grand hall of the Palace, where he was received by the Grand Duke, who conducted him to the Grand Duchess and his august bride. Afterwards the Princess Amelia was conducted into the saloon where the ceremony was to be performed by her father the Grand Duke, and King Otho followed, led by the Grand Duchess. The altar was raised under the portrait of King Christian IV. The cere mony was then performed, according to the rites of the Protes tant Church, by Dr. Boekel, and afterwards according to those of the Roman Catholic Church, by the Bishop of Munster. The first ceremony of the rings was announced by a salvo of 22 guns. The scene was most imposing, and called to mind the solemnities of the Vatican. After the ceremony, the august couple received the congratulations of the Grand Ducal family and the Clergy, and then retired into the Red Apartment, and afterwards proceeded into the Yellow apartment, where the whole Court were admit ted to pay their offers of congratulation. At ten in the evening, 400 persons, bearing flags and torches, with a band of music, came under the windows of the palace, and played the air of " God save the King," concluding with three cheers. In the evening of the 23d there was to be a grand ridotto, for which 600 tickets were distributed. On the 24th there was to be a gratuitous performance at the thea tre, and on the 2.5 th a grand ball at Court. POLITICAL PARTIES IN SWITZER- Conservative or Aristocratic.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO THE RE. CENT TRANSACTION AT GRAHAM'S CLUB. (copy.) White's, Dec. 2, 1836. My Lord—The charges of unfair play which have been long circulated against you did not originate with ourselves, who were late and reluctant believers in them ; neither, when convinced of the truth, did we propagate the report, which we were anxious to suppress—our personal feelings, and the conviction of the injury that would be inflicted on society by the exposure of a person of your Lordship's rank and station prompting us to forbearance. All that we required, in justice to others, was, that you should abstain from play, and, at a meeting attended by Lord Henry Bentinck, Mr. Payne, and Colonel Anson, who was also reluctantly convinced of the truth of the ac cusations, it was agreed that no further measures should be adopted by us, unless you recommenced play, which you had discontinued since the occurrence misrepresented in the Satirist newspaper. It was only upon learning that you intended returning to England to meet the charge, and to call to severe account all who might accuse you, that we considered it our duty towards ourselves, and those whom we knew to have spoken the truth, undisguisedly to declare our own sentiments. Having done this, and knowinc , that you were aware of our having done so, we considered ' ourselves exonerated from taking further steps. Our motives, however, having been misinterpreted, our moderation treated as timidity, and our openly avowed conviction as malevolent whisperings, it be comes imperative on us to take immediate measures for the elucidation of the whole truth. We, therefore, utterly dis claiming any identity with the Satirist newspaper, in which a statement appeared that was totally incorrect, and over whose defence, under any circumstances, we could have no controul, now distinctly charge your Lordship with cheating at cards at Graham's Club and elsewhere, and undertake to prove our assertions by evidence before a committee of gentlemen of unblemished honour and reputation. 'To this investigation we now invite your Lordship, and, in proposing this tribunal as the most fit to pass judgment on such an affair, we are sanctioned by the opinion of society at large, and of at least a large portion of your Lordship's own friends. GEORGE PAYNE. B. GREVILLE. J. CUMMING. H. BENTINCK. (Com) Park-place, Dec. 3, 1836. Gentlemen,—l received this morning the letter you ad dressed to me, announcing the association you have formed to accuse me of cheating at cards. Your charges lam ready to meet ; but it is rather too much to expect that I should submit to your dictation as to the tribunal that is to adjudicate between us. Your industry in defamation has given such extreme publicity to the affair, that it is impos sible for me now to resort to any investigation of a private nature, such as you appear disposed to prefer. An appeal to a court of justice, where evidence is taken upon oath, and published to the world, is the only proceeding that could be either satisfactory or effectual as matters now stand. I shall neither be deterred by your reasonings, nor intimidated by your numbers, from the course I have been advised to pursue. That course is, to prosecute the Sati rist in such a form as to give all those who have any charges to make, an opportunity of bringing them forward, and I hereby invite you all four, formally, whether in your joint or individual capacity, to avail yourselves of that occasion. It may not accord with your wishes to appear before the public in support of the Satirist, but I beg to remind you that the libel in that paper originated solely and entirely in the stories which you circulated yourselves immediately after my departure for the Continent. Till that period, the 14th of August, not a syllable of accusa tion was breathed, and then the storm burst forth, so that your boasted forbearance seems to have consisted in main taining silence till my back was turned. I have nothing further at present to state than that your charges are false, and flat I repel them with scorn, indignation, and defiance.—l am, your obedient servant, DE ROS. Messrs. Payne, B. Greville, Cumming, and Lord H. Bentinek. Mr. Cumming has, we understand, written another letter to Lord De Ros, the purport of which is to hint that the gentlemen whose names are appended to the first cannot elu cidate the truth on the Satirist trial, and c alling on his Lord ship to prosecute one or all of them for defamation. Th e answer to this letter we have not yet seen ; and the m a tt er rests there.—John Bull. The Trustees of Archbishop Tenison's Library and Free Grammar School, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, met on Wednesday to elect a librarian and master, i n place of Arch deacon Hamilton, resigned, when the Rev. William Eyre, 8.A., of Magdalene-hall, Oxford, was unanimously chosen out the four candidates, whose testimonials were all of a very high order. The Trustees anticipate that the institution will ere long become a very useful and valuable foundation. The Trustees lately appointed by the Master of the Rolls (the whole of the late Trustees being dead) are —The Rev. H. B. Dukinfield, vicar ; Messrs. Hudson and Smith, church wardens ; Hon. P. Bouverie, Hon. Sir Edward Cust ; Mr. Henry Simpson, Mr. Henry Pouncey, Mr. James Haward, Mr. Robert Taylor, and Mr. Michael Staunton. Private letters from the capital of Bavaria state that the reports in the French Papers of the intensity and spread of the cholera there had been much exaggerated. There were still many English in the city who did not feel alarmed enough to leave. The death of one of King Otho's attendants was immediately occasioned by cholera, but proximately by some excesses and a previous disease. It is rumoured that a new street is to be formed, running eastward from Coventry-street, parallel with the two National Theatres : also one southward, from Oxford street to Charinb - -cross ; thereby removing the old buildings in Whitcomb-street, which are in a falling condition, and a great nuisance. the buffalo breed. — These animals were of immense size, and seemed hardly fat. Their horns are the longest of any of the oxen kind. The animals are very vicious, and although firmly tied up, visitors were ordered not to go too near. The Durham cows gave greater promise of beef, in proportion to their size, than any of the various species of oxen. It was a cause of complaint that the oxen were kept so closely together, for it was impossible for a visitor to go between in many cases, and they had to form an idea of the proportions of the beasts from an inspection of their haunches. The placards stated the beasts to have been fed upon some or all of the following articles ;—grass, cabbage, mangel-wurzel, meal, and oil cake. The style in which the names of the purchasers were cut out with scis sors on the flanks of the animals, gave the country gentle men an exalted idea of the mart& of intellect amongst the London butchers. There was nothing extraordinary in the sheep. There were three of the Cape species, but except the singularity of so much mutton upon the tail, neither their wool nor con dition excited much interest. The variety and extraordinary pinguitud e of the pigs ex cited even more admiration than the oxen. Poor Cobbett would have been ravished with delight had he seen them. The Surrey, and Suffolk, and Norfolk, and Essex pigs were most interesting. Some of the former, though not more than 17 weeks old, were so fat that a ma❑ could not lift one of them. Few delicate persons, however, would like to eat them. The chief of the pigs was a hog of 90 stone, fed upon common food. He bad a whole pen to himself to grunt in, and neither scratching, beating, or feeding could induce him to stand. A gentleman of fashion, who had in vain tried with his stick, pulled off his glove, and endea voured to scratch the hog into compliance ; but the guar dian of the hog, alarmed at the length of the gentleman's nails, swore he would pitch him into the pen if he did not give over. The gentleman withdrew amidst great laughter. Messrs. Gibbs and Co. had no competitors in their hor ticultural exhibition, which was very fine. The following outline of the plan of the Repository of the Club may be interesting to our country readers :—lt is in the form of a parallelogram, with a long hall or entrance, on one side of which are the sheep pens, on the other spe cimens of horse furniture, harness, and bags, aprons, tents, and all other kinds of leather and canvas articles used in farm, barn, or stable work. Around the sides of the area the oxen are tied up ; down the middle are two t of pens, chiefly for pigs. There are entrances from the sides into offisc..s, and beli:ud the eastern there is another line of stalls. Over the southern and eastern sides are galleries for horticultural and agricultural productions, and the exhibi tion of farming implements. The walls are covered with every kind of paper in every style of print on every subject that the ingenuity of author, printer, and bill-sticker can devise, and at every angle the reader beholds a sheet large enough to cover an ox, appealing to his sympathies as an Englishman, and assuring him that he can find John Bull's pride and glory—a baron of beef—roasted and served up in real national style only at the house of the man whose name stands at the head of a bill in letters every one itself as large as a leg of beef. On Saturday se'ennight, the performance at Co vent-garden Theatre was for the benefit of a charitable in stitution, and Mr. Macready exerted his fine powers gratui tously on the occasion. After the first piece was over, a deputation from the Committee waited on Mr. M. in his dressing-room, and presented him with a beautiful silver ewer, splendidly worked, with a suitable entablature, as a token of gratitude for his kind and masterly performance on that evening. The cost of the present was defrayed out of the private purses of the Committee, and not the funds of the institution. His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans honoured the proprietors of the great Vauxhall balloon with a visit, at an early hour on Monday, at the Hotel de 'Ville, and mi nutely examined the balloon, car, and all the apparatus con nected with this vast machine. The balloon was inflated to the fullest extent the ball-room would admit of, which was about 30 feet high, and 80 long, though even then its great dimensions were not half developed. His Royal Highness appeared much interested with the various explanations and anecdotes of the recent extraordinary voyage, for which he felt no doubt an additional interest from the accounts given by the Marquis of Clanricarde, upon his recent visits at the Tuileries, regarding his aerial trip, a few weeks be fore, from Vauxhall-gardens. In the course of the de tails relative to the preparations for ascension given to the Duke, it was made obvious that the method of in flating the balloon in England differed very materially from the means adopted in France ; and that the English method with coal gas is of much more simple and easy ac complishment, and entirely supersedes the use of the inflam mable materials employed in generating pure hydrogen, with which the French aeronauts have hitherto inflated their balloons. We are sorry to find that the exertions of the proprietors to find a spot suitable for the ascent in Paris have as yet been unsuccessful.—Gdignani's Messenger. It is our painful duty to record one of the most melancholy occurrences which have taken place in the Isle of Man for many years. On Monday the 28th ult., it appears that some small boats put off to sea from the town of Peel, for the purpose of fishing ; and among these was a very fine yawl containing a crew of seven men. After reaching the fishing ground, the weather, which had hitherto been comparatively mild, became squally and boisterous, accompanied by heavy falls of rain, which con tinued during the evening. While the others made the best of their way to gain the land, this boat was observed at a considerable distance with a press of the canvas, bearing up against the foaming waves, and at this moment a heavy shower coming on, she became lost to her companions, and nothing more was seen or known of her fate ! We have been informed that the wreck of the boat and some of the unfortunate sufferers have since been washed ashore. — Mona Herald. THE HAGUE, DEC. I.—The day before yester day a storm ravaged this city and its environs, which can only be compared to that of the 9th of November, 1800. The atmosphere was very mild, and agitated only by a south-west wind. A few minutes before the storm began the thermometer was at 58. The fury of the wind caused a great injury to several houses. Many of the chimneys have been thrown down, and several of the roofs stripped of their covering. In the neighbourhood of the town, and on the highways, a great number of trees have been torn up by the roots ; but it was principally in the beautiful wood of the Hague that the storm exercised its ravages. We have, however, only heard of one life being lost. Car riages have been overturned and upset into the canals. The same violence has prevailed in all the cities of Holland, and at Amsterdam, in particular, a great deal of injury has been done. Rotterdam likewise has suffered much. At Breda, Haarlem, and Arnhem, the same scene was re peated. Everywhere alehouses and plantations have suffered. Slavery at Mocha is carried on to a great extent. It is encouraged by the Egyptian authorities, owing to the duty of two dollars levied on each slave passing through the Custom-house. Nearly 700 women, or rather girls from 10 to 16 and 18 years, had been imported in the short space of ten days. THE GIPSIES IN RUSSIA AND IN SPAIN.-- MOSCOW, SEPT. 23, 1835.—Those who have been accus tomed to consider these people as wandering barbarians, in capable of civilization, and unable to appreciate the bles sings of a quiet and settled life, will be surprised at learning that many of those in Moscow inhabit large large and hand someb houses, a ppear abroad in elegant equipages, and, if distinguishable from the genteel class of the Russians, arc only so by superior personal ad van t ages " and mental accom plishments. Of this singular phenomenon at Moscow, the female gipsies are the principal cause, having, from time im memorial, cultivated their vocal powers to such an extent, that although in the heart of a country in which the vocal art has arrived at greater perfection than in any other part of the world, the principal gipsy choirs in Moscow are al ' lowed, by the general voice of the public, to be unrivalled, and to bear away the palm from all competitors. It is a fact notorious in Russia, that the celebrated Catalani was so filled with adoration for the powers of voice displayed by one of the gipsy songstresses, who, after the audience had sung before a splendid audience at Moscow, stepped for ward, and, with an astonishing burst of melody, ravished every ear, that she took from her own shoulders a shawl of immense value, which had been presented to her by the Pope, and, embracing the gipsy, compelled her to accept it, saying that it had been originally intended for the matchless singer which she discovered was not herself. The sums ob tained by these performers are very large, enabling them to live in luxury of every description, and to maintain their husbands in a princely way. Many of them are married to Russian gentlemen, and every one who has resided for any length of time in Russia cannot but he aware that the lovely, talented, and domestic wife of Count Alexander T— is by birth a gipsy, and was formerly one of the ornaments of a Rommany choir at Moscow, as she is now one of the principal ornaments of the married state and of illustrious life.
